A Crafty Arab: 30 days of Ramadan Crafty challenge roundup (2013)

As the year is drawing to a close, I have realized that I did not do a roundup of the 2013 30 days of Ramadan Crafty Challenge. So before our new year starts, I'd like to take care of one last detail from one of the best years ever for A Crafty Arab. Shurkran to everyone!

As many of you know, I started the 30 days of Ramadan Crafty challenge back in July 2011 to give my daughters a creative outlet for making some fun Arab/Asian/Islamic crafts to celebrate this month of their heritage and culture.

Most of the crafts I've done in the past three years have been ones that I have created on my own or had to adapt from other resources. I had to do this since there are currently no good craft book for Arab/Asian/Islamic/Eid/Ramadan crafts. But maybe things will change soon and I can take my craft ideas and turn them into an ebook. I'm just not sure there is a market for it, as it's never been done before. Plus, I'd love to hire a photographer as my skills are amateur.

Until then, please enjoy this list of 30 free DIY craft tutorials to celebrate the days of Ramadan with your children. If you'd like to see all the images of all the crafts, make sure you visit my Pinterest board for this year. And follow me to get updates for 2014!
